...I like playing as Sonic. He may not be the best but he is so much ******* fun. Personally I like Marth/Ike/Lucario the most but Sonic is definitely one of the better characters to play as in my eyes.

Link is my go-to unless my opponent picks some speedy bastard like Diddy Kong. Then I pick Toon Link & go to town.
Also, look up 'Project M Brawl' if you still have Brawl, it makes every character manageable. Even Zelda

His ************ right here is extremely awesome and annoying at the same time. He can jump over five times, and use the his B-up to fly farther. He can glide over the entire battlefield, and under the stage. He has two reflectors, a sniper-like arrow spammer, and a decent amount of speed and power. Also he's my favorite if you can't tell.

G&M, Toon link and bowser are my favorites. I like being powerful in air battles. and dashing downwards when they're on the ground but that takes some tactical thinking versus good players who are good at avoiding that one.
